Whatever you think of BF at least he is honest about it unlike the parade of pretenders on who sit light in their leather chairs and you know come after dark they'll be in stockings and stilettos sucking some guy's nipples.

Being queer is no crime at all, but the extensive list of hypocrite holier than thou pedophiles definitely is.

True though, when dems get caught it's usually with the opposite gender and not children.

As more information regarding the resignation started to eke out, the conversation continued. The terms “Petraeus” and “CIA Director” started trending worldwide — in spite of significant problems affecting the service. As of 5:50 p.m. EST, the phrase “Paula Broadwell” started trending on Twitter.

Later Friday evening, reports surfaced that Petraeus’s biographer, Paula Broadwell, is being investigated by the FBI for having improper access to the General’s email and other classified information. [link to mashable.com]

That story is a dead end (links go no where), and is the only place that mentions it. Apparently it is being transmitted (as usual) from some anonymous speculation on Twitter. Or more sinister by some spook disinfo agent to make smoke and mirrors to cloud the real story (again, as usual)...

CIA Directorover an extramarital affair, according to a letter he sent to CIA staff. The news was confirmed by Press Secretary Jay Carney in a briefing this afternoon.

Slate’s Fred Kaplan quickly reported that the affair was with Paula Broadwell — Gen. Petraeus’ biographer who was embedded with him in Afghanistan.

Now,is reporting that the FBI is investigating Broadwell, fearing that she had access to some confidential information.

From NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel on MSNBC:

Also we have learned from law enforcement sources — law enforcement officials — that the FBI is now investigating, and this is an ongoing investigation, into Paula Broadwell.

… The FBI investigation is seeing whether she had improper access to gen pet’s emails and may have had access to his — may have accidentally or deliberately had access to classified information. And so we know this investigation is taking place, and that it has identified Paula Broadwell.

The biographer for resigning CIA Director David Petraeus is under FBI investigation for improperly trying to access his email and possibly gaining access to classified information, law enforcement officials told NBC News on Friday.

The law enforcement officials said they do not believe the FBI investigation will result in any criminal charges. They also stressed that Petraeus is not under investigation.

The affair was discovered during an FBI investigation, according to officials briefed on the developments. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter. It was unclear what the FBI was investigating or when it became aware of the affair.

At some point after Petraeus was sworn in as CIA director on Sept. 6, 2011, the woman broke up with him. However, Petraeus continued to pursue her, sending her thousands of emails over the last several months, raising even more questions about his judgment.

“The decision was made to delay the resignation apparently to avoid potential embarrassment to the president before the election,” an FBI source says. “To leave him in such a sensitive position where he was vulnerable to potential blackmail for months compromised our security and is inexcusable.”

Ronald Kessler reporting from Washington, D.C. — ...However, an FBI source says the investigation began when American intelligence mistook an email Petraeus had sent to his girlfriend as a reference to corruption. Petraeus was commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan from July 4, 2010 until July 18, 2011.

The investigation began last spring, but the FBI then pored over his emails when he was stationed in Afghanistan.

Published on Mar 2, 2012 by CBSNewsOnlineJeff Glor talks to Paula Broadwell - author of "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus" - about the personal side of the man who was a four-star general who served over 37 years in the United States Army, oversaw all coalition forces in the Iraq War and who currently serves as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

They don't have jurisdiction... If he was a traitor w/I the DOD he would be investigated by one of the myriad DOD investigative agencies & he would be tried under the UCMJ....

The US Military has its own justice system... An active duty general would be investigated by DOD agencies & if criminal misconduct is alleged he would be prosecuted under the military justice system...

Note - DOD civil matters are also investigated by the DOD investigative agencies - not FBI

Get the issue? The FBI investigates civilians... So, if this came out due to an FBI investigation, and he was the subject of the investigation, it most have related to his actions after he retired from the military...

The affair was discovered in an FBI investigation OF THE CIA CHIEF???!!! I thought their jurisdictions were quite distinct. And now we hear that the FBI LEAKED to the press (Kessler)???!!! Why would they do that?

Interesting take on Fox news. They said that this incident will force the other news channels to follow the behghazi incident as news front runner in the coming weeks and may break it wide open

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan

DP has a extramarital affair ... hardly newsworthy in Washington. My theory is somebody in the administration however probably tries to lever him to testify falsely at Congressional Hearings on Benghazior he'll be outed.

DP is an honourable man and calls their bluff rather than lie for the PoS in the White House.

Ask yourself who has the weight to Direct the FBI to investigate a Cabinet member ... Director of the Agency no less.

Stinks to high heaven, I say.

Hope the Republicans call him up to testify and he accepts. Nothing like truth as an antidote for America's festering WH chancre.
